ranked as first rounder by the nhl central scouting bureau for the 2007 nhl draft.

just another example of the cream always rising to the top. so many kids in this area rush off to preps or whatever at 14. if your that good, youll go somewhere no matter what.

"If your that good" is an understatement.

I had the privledge of watching Tj play and this kid is gifted. His energy, style and skill are in a league of it's own.

I hope the best for him. Christ knows the Flyers need defense!!

Also James Van Riemdsky and Colby Cohen ranked 3rd and I believe 25th are from this area.

id like to mention TJ comes out and help's at his hometown Moorestown's middle school practices. Teaching developmental skills. He truly is a great young man and wish him all the best!!! It's a joy to watch him pursue his dream. Best of luck to the the local boys!

Tangradi has also gone from the 7th round up to 4th round of the draft and john murray is ranked 17th of all goalies. could be a nice draft for the local players

tangradi is having a very good playoff run. wonder what would have happened if they wouldnt have buried him on the 3rd line most of the year. probably would be even higher.

there is not 16 goalies better then john murray either. i know hes a little older, but he should easily be in the top 10 in that list.

wheres digirolamo too? ushl first team all star and great stats, could see him being a late rounder.

yea im surprised digirolamo isnt on there at all. my only guess would be since hes not having a good playoffs so far and he was on one of the best teams and did not face as many shots as the other 2 ushl goalies on the list even though he had better stats then the 1

I had the priviledge of playing with TJ last summer. He is truly a gifted player and a natural leader.

Should be an interesting draft this year. Anyone have any projections for the local kids?

VanReimsdyk -1st Round , TJ Brennan -1st or 2nd round , Colby Cohen - 3rd Round ,Eric Tangradi - 5th-6th round. Good Luck to the local guys.

i bet a team takes a flyer on tangradi in the late 2nd early 3rd.

jvr top 5
brennan and cohen late 1st to late 2nd
shattenkirk top 20
murray and digirolamo 5th or 6th
swick 6th
pat cullen and ryan mckiernan 6th

I think JVR will go top 5, brennan will go 3rd round,early fourth. Not sure on the others.

tangradi should go be drafted by the 3rd round. I dont see digirolamo(bad playoffs) or swick getting drafted.

Who ,besides JVr and brennan are going to the combine at the end of the month? Are there any players from the area that are contemplating going north to play next fall?

I believe Tyler Hoffsettler (Lancaster I think) was drafted by the Erie Otters of the OHL. Rumor has it he may have already signed.
